Do you mean Content-Type header?

This URL generates a redirect to:

http://www.jobbingmall.nl/INTL/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobDetails.aspx?IPath=JRTCM&sc_cmp1=JS_JR_ViewJob&cbRecursionCnt=1&cbsid=84c22ad6691d4925bb0664b3037985a5-267037034-ws-6

and sets a cookie.

Using that URL without a cookie produces another redirect, so I suspect 
this one of those pages that puts browsers into loops unless they have 
cookies enabled.

According to the HTTP specification, it SHOULD also provide a body that 
contains a human readable document pointed to the redirected 
destination, which would typically have a Content-Type of text/html or 
text/plain.  However it hasn't provided any body.

The page it eventually gets to, after several rounds of redirects and 
cookie settings, is:

http://www.jobbingmall.nl/NL/Default.aspx


That produces headers (with ']') which do include a Content-Type:

These are all the headers I got back with the (redirecting) URL that you 
supplied:

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
